Dallas Cowboys defensive back/kick returner Pacman Jones has made it clear he would prefer to be called by his given name — Adam Jones:
“There’s really just a lot of negativity behind it (Pacman). It’s just time for a change, man. I’m doing everything to make sure that I’m all right as a person, mentally and emotionally. My mom is going to call me ‘Pacman.’ That is what it is. I can’t change that. I’m not saying that my teammates won’t call me ‘Pacman’ on the field. But for the most part, I want to be Adam or Mr. Jones.”
I do respect that he wants to change his previous persona and start over. So Adam it is. Mr. Jones has a nice ring to it, but until he passes me in age (which isn’t likely to happen), I’ll stick with Adam from now on.
